I'm running 7.0-RELEASE/i386 and I get the same errors with the Wine 1.1.9_1,1 ports installation. According to the WineHQ site, this is a developmental branch, not a stable branch.

The WineHQ site claims that 1.0.1, released 10/17/08, is the current stable release. The source tarball compiles fine, and the resulting binaries seem rather stable on my system.

Unfortunately, the current precompiled package uses Wine 0.9.48.1, a version over a year old. Many of my Win32 programs fail with this version.

Perhaps somebody should poke the Wine maintainer and have them update the precompiled package once the ports freeze is lifted. I'm thinking it might also be nice to have two ports, one pointing to the release branch, the other pointing to the development branch.
